The struggle between Muji and MUJI began many years ago. At that time, MUJI had just registered its trademark. Because its name is similar to that of Muji, it is controversial by the outside world. But strictly speaking, the two belong to different categories of trademarks and there is no conflict. The former belongs to the category of cotton goods, while the latter belongs to the grocery store.
The first fight between their two families was when the old enterprise Muji sold cotton goods and branded them at the same time. Because there was no such trademark, it was suspected of unauthorized use, so it was sued by Muji and eventually lost. After losing, it is normal to apologize and compensate. But they claimed it was the other side? Rob? Trademark, which involves libel.
1, no seal, no seal, first of all, talk about the relationship between the two companies. Wuyin is an old Japanese grocery store with a long history, and it is a brand that rose when the international economy was in recession. Wuyin is a domestic store, and the date of trademark registration is much later. But their trademark belongs to cotton fabric, which does not conflict with the former, so it does not involve trademark infringement.
Although there is no infringement, the names are similar, which will inevitably cause controversy. In this case, MUJI has a feeling of taking advantage.
2, the first fight Their first fight was infringement, but this infringement belonged to the famous Muji in the early days. Because MUJI doesn't have a trademark for cotton goods, it can't be branded when selling the corresponding products? No fingerprints? Banners. Once this trademark appears, it will infringe on domestic MUJI.
To tell the truth, MUJI itself is also very wronged. Obviously, it is a grocery store, and as a result, it sells related things, so it is impossible to label it yourself. Although there are some false and wrongful cases, we should still speak according to the facts. After all, they don't have a cotton brand.
3. The question of alleged libel and infringement has already come to a conclusion, and the result is very simple. Naturally, the party with the cotton trademark won. But after the victory, Muji claimed to be Muji? Rob? They bought their trademark. The word itself, with a certain nature, is a slander without any evidence.
Now Muji is also a big enterprise. The existence of these two words may affect their development. So a complaint was sent to the court to sue Muji for defamation.
It is difficult to draw a conclusion about who is right and who is wrong. However, this incident tells us a truth. If you want to be a brand, you'd better register all kinds of trademarks to avoid trademark competition in the future.
